being anti-illegal-immigration does not mean being anti-immigration.

When ICE raids preschools and churches, all kinds of immigrants feel threatened.

Really? That's your response to preschoolers having to watch their parents or their caretakers snatched by masked thugs?

Yes…the parents/caretakers put the kids in that position, not the ICE agents that are doing their job

So, if you crossed the border illegally to escape a civil war, or organized crime targeting you and your family (as some immigrants did) you deserve that?

I hope you receive more empathy when life windshields you. You may not have been in middle school recently, but they teach that when bad things happen to others, we can choose to be a bystander who does nothing (and tacitly reinforces the bad) or an upstander who speaks up and shows empathy.

That's an interesting, very privileged perspective.

As long as they've come here legally, they have nothing to worry about. Name one immigrant that has been deported unfairly.

And before you reply, let me remind you that crossing a border illegally, by definition, makes you a criminal, regardless of what you do afterward.

Native born children of people who crossed the border illegally have been deported with their parents, OR have had their families ripped apart. Also, people who were legally pursuing asylum claims have been detained and deported.
